Vegas has a great reputation for being the city where the party never stops, but what about when you're trying to get that party started? Once you've determined where you're going to spend the night partying, you still need to get yourself amped with a little pregaming. While you can just pregame in the room, there's really nothing like heading to a unique lounge or bar to start the eye-candy search, take some shots and get the fun started.
July is one of our favorite months for Vegas partying, and it just so happens we're right in the middle of it. Vegas isn't going anywhere but the summer pool party mayhem is chugging along at a healthy pace. Whether you're local and planning a serious stay-cation or you're one payday away from hopping on a plane, here is what's popping this weekend in the glorious City of Sin:
There’s really nothing better than visiting a local dive bar especially when you’re out of town. Entering into an unknown jaunt with no windows (to easily lose track of time drunkenly), dark interiors, a haze of cigarette smoke floating overhead, cheap drinks and a bartender who becomes your best friend after you buy them that first shot. Of course, you can make friends easily by buying the whole bar shots – even without breaking the bank.
Sometimes when you mix inebriated adults from all corners of the globe with a city whose nick name is "Sin City" you don't always get favorable results in terms of politeness and respect among the human species. Somehow or another, basic manners go out the window. We blame it on the alcohol, but also when you're in a cosmopolitan city full of strangers from all over people seem to forget the golden rule: treat others how you want to be treated. Here are 7 essential etiquette guidelines that when applied help make the golden rule a reality.
Vegas is not to be underestimated when it comes to excessive fireworks displays, outdoor pool parties, concerts, and mayhem. Any holiday celebration is an excuse to make things bigger and better here in Sin City. Plus, visitors from all over the world enjoy partaking in the festivities as well, so that is saying something.
Many people come into Vegas thinking that only the night clubs have a dress code policy, and that you’re free to roam the pool in your man-kini and crocs. Most don’t put much effort into their swim attire. This puts you, our loyal readers, at an advantage to stand out amongst the crowd. Even if Vegas has the tendency to bring out your inner hot mess, at least look sharp from sunrise until sundown.
Las Vegas will witness yet another blockbuster weekend with The Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC Las Vegas) and it's loyal patrons making their way into the city in droves. If you are trying to achieve 24/7 partying bliss, or if festivals simply aren't your cup of tea then you definitely want to catch these events over the weekend:
Las Vegas stands proud when it comes to the wide array of huge luxury hotel suites. It isn't so much the size of these suites that sets them apart from other travel destinations across the globe, but rather the unique 'wow' factor found in each particular one. A premium suite is the ultimate splurge, and Vegas is the capital of 'go big, or go home'. Locking down one of these breathtaking suites will ensure your stay is beyond exceptional.
For those of you who are little rusty on your history, Downtown Las Vegas is where it truly all began… the original designated gambling district and town site pre-Strip. When Steve Wynn opened The Mirage in 1989, Downtown’s popularity with tourists and locals waned as more and more mega-casinos were built. Downtown became marginalized and even belittled as a seedy center for cheap buffets and penny slots.
There is certainly a hierarchy of venues when in comes to the hottest cocktail servers in Vegas despite the fact that beautiful ladies from all over the globe come to Vegas to make a substantial living off serving. Whether it's bringing a bottle to your VIP table a nightclub or bringing you a whiskey sour while you play the mega bucks, a cocktail server with a gorgeous smile and elegant look will always add to the overall appeal of Vegas.
